For the entire academic community, this was a sleepless night.
The world's top-level scientific research materials ah, though these items made available for sharing were hardly secrets, procuring them through other means would be an arduous affair.
And today, the whole organizing committee actually opened access to the worldwide scholarly forum for 800,000 scholars free of charge, allowing them to read as many papers as they wished as long as they had the time.
From last night at 18:00 to this morning at 8:00, a full 14 hours— they even wished that time could be extended.
Over 1000 research reports, even if one person read each just once, would amount to more than 800 readings, but the actual number of readings exceeded that by more than tenfold!
